Public Service Announcement: Ramp Bots Beware.

This just a little reminder that while climbing ramps this year be very careful! We all know from last year that for many teams ramps can be difficult to climb and this year with ramps that are narrow its easy to fall off. When at regionals get a lot of practice going up them! Or teams should consider building their own before ship.

Also note: This was just a simple case of driver error, 1065's ramps are a great set. They performed exactly the way they should, and because of this mistake they developled a slightly different technique where they would load the bots against the wall, and pull away, its actually pretty awesome. The thread, pictures and video can be seen here.

I forsee a lot of the same stuff happening this year so becareful all!
